The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 As long as his wages aren't excessive (so around £80k) I would be okay with having him here to compete against Remy and Costa. Not expecting big things from him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expecting big things from him though.A guy like that cannot simply lose it in one year. Unless he did a Torres knee thing. I wonder what happened with him.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Furthermore he wont have any re-sell value at all if he flops.It's a loan most likely, so we can just send him back to Monaco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Well Bamford ain't playing here next season then if this trueBamford was never going to be at Chelsea next season. He needs to be playing every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOS 580 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 if its just a loan and he agrees to take a massive pay cut, like 50, 60 per cent.., then why not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mak 4,459 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Please god no. Torres II.I've always said that if we wanted Falcao he should've been bought when he left Porto. Now after a massive injury, questions over his age, severe drop in performance, ridiculous price and wages he should not even be considered.I can see a scenario where he comes, we sell Bamford - Falcao flops and Bamford bangs them in for fun. It would be typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper22 2,418 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 A guy like that cannot simply lose it in one year. Unless he did a Torres knee thing. I wonder what happened with him.Thing is that it was his knees. It was his cruciate ligament back around 14 months ago. His decline has looked a tad similar to Torres to so I'm wary.But like others have said, if Jose and the scouting team think he's good enough then I trust in our medical teams and I trust in Jose.

Sosuke Aizen 46 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 @The MakOver at the Utd fanbase, some are fearing that Falcao would bang in goals for fun for us and make them look stupid. Being apprehensive is common for all fanbase. Especially after the season KdB has had, I can understand the sentiment. However, for every KdB, there's a Schurrle. So, let's not think about what Bamford might or might not do if he's let go. If Bamford's good enough he will either cement his place like Cortouis did or in case we sell him, we'll happily admit our mistake and bring him back like we did with Matic.

Madmax 9,219 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'm not sure letting Matic go was a mistake at all, because he completely reinvented himself as a player at Benfica. It's difficult envisioning him hitting that development curve while being stuck in the u21s here or out on loan at whichever club we would have let him go to. The only thing I hope we've learned from that whole ordeal is to insert buy back clauses and ensure we don't have to pay through the nose for a mistake. I believe we have done so with Thorgan Hazard?

I believe we have done so with Thorgan Hazard?Yep we did.I don't see the excitement surrounding this lad. He's a past it, man united reject whom we're not interested in. Drogba got 26 games thus season. If Bamford's not happy with that at a top club at the age of 20 or whatever he is then he'll have to have a few years' patience out on loan while we wait for him to be ready to start 30 or 40 matches a season.And that includes factoring in the risk that we buy a replacement who is more willing to play such a role.

I have never seen a player single-handedly rip apart Chelsea like Falcao did, but those days are long gone regardless of his injury or form.

The Mak 4,459 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 He's third choice not first! Who can come in here and do that role for us?We're going to be paying at least 150-200k a week for a third-choice striker? And a player of Falcao's supposed calibre is happy with being 3rd choice? Yeah, you're really winning me over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroey 2,525 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 This is Mourinho.Falcao will be 2nd choice. Remy will be 3rd choice but with also some minutes as winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 It's birds or eggs.If he fully recovers this season and we have signed him it will be great - a new chelsea superstar.If not then sh*t happens.It depends on the money to be spent.
